Hi,
I am trying to sort using a script sort.
My script would look like: \_score \* doc['someField'].value
When I submit the query I am getting: unresolvable property or identifier:
\_score
Is it not possible to use the score in a script sort?
Thanks!

Hi Vineeth,
I want to use the score for some other purpose. (retrieve the number of
children with a has\_child query)
Hence I can't modify it's calculation in script score.
